Many people are dismissing Trumps talk of a Presidential run as a publicity stunt. If it is one, it’s one of the worst in recorded history. he’s pissing off Democrats and the Elites of theGOP with his blunt talk about China, leaching allies and Islam. The Republican establishment have chosen Mitt Romney as their standard bearer and have unleashed a vicious campaign on Trump through their lackeys. This did this in 2000 against John McCain to make sure their then chosen candidate George Bush would get the nomination. Unlike McCain, Trump has fired back at the GOP establishment. Something that has gone unnoticed is that Trump is actually setting up the foundations of a campaign.
Dismissed just days ago as an exercise in self-promotion, Donald Trump’s flirtation with a White House run appears to be picking up steam as the real-estate magnate moves toward establishing the rudiments of a campaign.
The real-estate developer and reality-television star is reaching out to Republican Party activists, both in Washington and in early states such as Iowa, and is talking to an array of potential handlers, pollsters and operatives.

“Donald’s as serious as a heart attack” about running, said Tony Fabrizio, a top Republican pollster who has been in frequent contact with Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump told NBC’s Today show Tuesday that he plans to make up his mind by early June at the latest. “I think I am presidential,” he said.
We will see in Late May if Trump really goes through with this. If he does, he better be prepared for teh onslaught teh gOP establishemnt at the behest of Romney will unleash. SO far, he seems eager for a fight. Let the games begin!
